The University of New Mexico (UNM) Office of Career Services invites you to register for the Public Service Career Showcase (PSCS), focusing on federal, state, and municipal career opportunities. The event is a collaborative effort between The University of New Mexico, the New Mexico Consortium of Career Educators and the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to OPM Director, Linda M. Springer, for her leadership and support of this important outreach opportunity. Under her direction, OPM has committed funding for federal agencies (see below) who attend the UNM Public Service Career Showcase.
Federal Recruiters: OPM is supporting the event by covering the registration fee for recruiters from non-uniformed federal recruiting organizations. Funding is limited to approximately 50 registrations, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible in order to take advantage of this fantastic support! NOTE: New Mexico State University (Las Cruces) is hosting their Public Service Career Showcase on November 18, 2008. Information about NMSU career fairs is available at http://careerservices.nmsu.edu/.
The UNM Public Service Career Showcase is scheduled for November 20, 2008. Registration includes one six-foot table, VIP parking for one vehicle, and catering support for up to two recruiters (breakfast and lunch).

Airport car rental shuttles provide transportation between the terminal building and the Car Rental Center located at 3400 University Blvd SE. Shuttles run every 5 minutes from the commercial lane located outside the 1st level of the airport terminal building. Once you have picked up your vehicle at the rental area, drive north on University Blvd. The street curves east to become Randolph. At the traffic signal at Randolph and Yale Blvd, turn left, heading north on Yale. Campus is a 5-7 minute drive from that intersection. Enter campus at Yale and Central, and head east to the Visitor Parking Structure which is adjacent to Central/Stanford entrance to campus.
Parking is very closely monitored on our campus. We cannot be responsible for tickets or towing if you choose to park outside the visitor lot. Bring your parking stub to the employer sign-in table so we can validate. Parking will be validated for one vehicle per registration, no in-out privileges. Additional parking validation may be purchased by contacting 505-277-2531.
From the Visitor Lot, walk north, Popejoy Hall will be on your left. The SUB will also be on your left, Building #60 on the campus map available on the UNM website. The ballroom is located in the northwest corner of the building. Watch for our signs with balloons to direct you to the fair!
Students will be available to help with unloading/loading at entrance to the parking structure from 7:30am to 9:30am. They will be available in the ballroom beginning at 3:00 PM to help you return your material to your vehicle.
Once you have unloaded your displays and other materials, please check in at Employer Sign-in for directions to your assigned table.
